It turns out, they were the main characters.

Mu Zhian was stunned for a while before helplessly looking up at Lin Ling and saying:

"Senior Linglong, you've stolen again... I mean, you borrowed another Eight Treasures Crane from Senior Yi Hao?"

Lin Ling nodded slightly, pointed to the immobilized eight-treasure crane on the ground, glanced at Mu Zhi'an, and opened her mouth slightly:

"Aaaaa!"

If Yi Hao finds out, his psychological trauma will probably grow even larger... Mu Zhi'an looked at the eight-treasure crane on the ground and nodded slightly:

"Hmm... I understand. I'll go prepare a midnight snack for you now."

Lin Ling nodded in satisfaction and walked lightly into the house.

at the same time.

In mid-air, apart from Yi Hao and the other four who were present at Tianhe Garden that day, the other five people were all somewhat bewildered, confused and puzzled.

The spirit dragon is living in the Glazed Palace...?

And he even caught a crane and took it back to feed a disciple of a certain sect...?

"If I remember correctly, Tianhe Garden is where Junior Sister Yan's newly accepted inner disciple lives, right?"

The head of Tianji Peak, with her exceptionally beautiful appearance, stared at Tianhe Garden with surprise and uncertainty, and whispered, "Senior Linglong is staying in a disciple's villa...?"

"I remember a disciple from our sect once caused trouble at one of the villas in the Glazed Palace, accusing another disciple of harboring a demon cultivator, but the matter was eventually dropped..."

Ning Yuan frowned and said, "Could it be... that 'demon' is Senior Spirit Dragon?"

The chieftains stood in the cold wind, watching the silver-haired beauty return to the house, speechless for a long time.

They suddenly understood why Yan Ruyu had made that choice.

After an unknown amount of time, the chief disciples came to their senses and looked at the young man who was tidying up the eight-treasure crane with a hint of "appreciation" in their eyes.

Yan Ruyu glanced meaningfully at the heads of the group, then lingered for a moment on two of the more curvaceous women.

She subtly withdrew her gaze.

Mu Zhian's true value lies not only in the spirit dragon behind him.

She pursed her lips and gazed at Mu Zhian's retreating figure.

His very existence is a tremendous value.

Chapter 137 Miss Linglong Only Wants to Eat Cranes 5K

Late at night, outside the Glazed Palace, an old man stood with his hands behind his back, his expression serene.

A handsome young man with striking features followed beside him, his expression slightly grim, clearly recalling the scene he had witnessed not long ago.

How dare a young master from a family in Tianxuan City go looking for a young lady so late at night...?

And to make matters worse, the young lady actually let him in...

Recalling the young lady's softened tone when she mentioned Mu Zhian, Zhou Cang's expression grew even more unpleasant. He looked up at the old man beside him and said, "Old Shen, is it really alright to just let the young lady interact with other men of the same age, especially so late at night?"

Old Master Shen stood with his hands behind his back and said with a faint smile, "You know Miss's temper. If we continue to stay there, do you really think she won't get angry?"

Although Ye Lingxuan always has a smiling and elegant demeanor, she is, after all, the saintess of the forbidden zone. No matter how gentle she is on a daily basis, she is proud at heart.

If we disobey her without permission... no one can bear the consequences.

“Even so, it’s still wrong to let Miss have contact with a man so late at night…” Zhou Canghan said in a cold voice.

Old Shen chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Miss knows what she's doing. No matter what, we can't go against her wishes."

He paused, then continued, "If you're really worried, you can go and see what the eldest young master of the Mu family really thinks of Miss."

"That Mu Zhian has already gone back," Elder Shen said again.

Zhou Cang looked up at the old man with a slight surprise and said, "Does Elder Shen mean... we should go find that Mu Zhi'an now?"

Elder Shen nodded slightly and smiled, "Go find him, but remember not to make a move within the sect."

Their entry into the Liangyi Sect was naturally with the tacit approval of the higher-ups, but that doesn't mean they can act recklessly.

Letting them in was just giving face to the forbidden area behind them, but if they were to attack the disciples within the sect, then the meaning would be different... Zhou Cang naturally understood this principle and immediately nodded and said, "Alright! Then I'll trouble Elder Shen."

It doesn't matter if we can't attack him. Just hearing about the forbidden area behind Ye Lingxuan would probably make ordinary people back down, let alone a mere Qi Refining Stage 6 cultivator.

……

"This spirit dragon is truly a spirit dragon; it's really capricious."

Mu Zhian sat down on the ground in the courtyard, looking at the fire that occasionally sparked and the tender crane meat roasting on the fire, and couldn't help but sigh to himself.

If a normal person were to be found out by Yi Hao for stealing the Eight Treasure Crane, they would probably be severely punished.

Even if the other chiefs did the same, Yi Hao would probably fight them to the death.

After all, he had raised these eight-treasure cranes for so long and spent countless rare and precious materials on them, and yet, in such a short time, three of them had already been eaten.

Even a slight attempt to put myself in their shoes makes me so angry.

However, Yi Hao was facing a spirit dragon...

Even if you have bitterness in your heart, you can only swallow it down.

Of course, this kind of thing has nothing to do with him.

Suddenly, a light footstep sounded beside him. Mu Zhian turned his head slightly to look at the girl in the yellow dress with her shapely figure. His gaze lingered for a moment on her, and he smiled and said, "Sister Mengrou, why are you still wandering around outside so late?"

"Could it be that you're worried about my safety?"

Wei Mengrou couldn't help but glance at her young master a few more times, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Although she didn't deliberately hide her aura, she could passively conceal it... In the past, even if she walked behind Mu Zhi'an, he might not have been able to detect her.

So, they were detected as soon as they got close?

It seems this young master does practice meditation and cultivation diligently in private... Wei Mengrou calmly looked at Mu Zhian and asked, "Where did you go tonight?"

Mu Zhian reached out and grabbed the juicy roasted crane meat, tore off a piece to taste, and after confirming that it was almost done, slowly put it on a plate.

After finishing all this, he turned to look at Wei Mengrou and smiled, "Why did you suddenly ask this, Mengrou? Are you perhaps concerned about my affairs?"

"Did you go to Ye Lingxuan's place?" Wei Mengrou continued to ask.

Mu Zhian glanced around, shook his head slightly, and said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense. I already have Ruoxi. How could I go to see another girl late at night?"

Wei Mengrou glanced at him sideways and said coldly, "Don't worry, Bai Ruoxi is meditating in the room right now."

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "Yes, I just went to see Lingxuan because I missed her a bit."

Wei Mengrou: "..."

She was silent for a moment, then said, "Someone just came into Tianhe Garden. It seems to be someone from Ye Lingxuan's place."

As a cultivator at the Refining Spirit Realm, especially at the sixth rank, Wei Mengrou was naturally very perceptive to any disturbance in this villa.

She knew this young master inside and out, and naturally also knew about Ye Lingxuan's affairs, roughly understanding the powerful forces behind her.

"It looks like the two servants who originally came to invite Sister Lingxuan back?" Mu Zhian said suddenly.

"It's still best to be careful. One of those two has already reached the Void Returning Realm, and the other is a genius at the ninth rank of Qi Refining," Wei Mengrou warned.

Since the other party sneaked into Tianhe Garden without saying a word, it's obvious they weren't here for anything good... at least not for them.

"They've already come in?" Mu Zhian asked.

Wei Mengrou nodded silently.

"Isn't that great?"

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "Since they are guests, we should treat them well."

……

"Is this Tianhe Garden? The cave heaven techniques of the Liangyi Sect are truly astonishing."

Old Master Shen led the young man beside him into Tianhe Garden, looked around the villa, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The art of creating a grotto-heaven is something that every cultivator who reaches the Returning to the Void Realm can do.

Although he was only at the half-step Void Return stage, he was still able to create a grotto-heaven.

However, a grotto-heaven like the Liangyi Sect cannot be created simply by reaching the Void Returning Realm. It also requires some secret techniques and superb methods of controlling spiritual energy.

Only a behemoth like the Liangyi Sect could create such a perfect grotto-heaven.

Zhou Cang, who was standing next to Elder Shen, did not speak, but looked around at the layout of the surroundings, seemingly somewhat absent-minded.

When he originally came to the Liangyi Sect from the forbidden zone, he had thought of putting some pressure on Ye Yu.

When the results came, he found that the situation was not as he had imagined.

The person the young lady liked wasn't Ye Yu, but a name she'd never heard of before...

They also saw Mu Zhian when they were in the study.

How exactly did a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining manage to attract the young lady's attention?

Not only Zhou Cang, but even this old man Shen couldn't figure it out.

The two strolled leisurely into Tianhe Garden. With his hands behind his back, Old Ren smiled faintly and said, "Mu Zhian actually has quite good talent. It's just that he may have wasted some time in the past. Otherwise, he could be considered a young genius."

A cultivator at the Returning to the Void Realm can discern a person's talent at a glance, and this old man had clearly seen through Mu Zhian's talent not long ago.

Zhou Cang, however, disagreed, saying, "So what if he is a genius? My clan has no shortage of geniuses, and none of them are worse than Mu Zhi'an."

He paused, then shook his head slightly: "No... I think most people are much more talented than him."

He was still somewhat resentful. Back when they were in the forbidden area, many young disciples in the clan secretly admired Ye Lingxuan, but none of them managed to win the beauty's heart.

As a result, after arriving at the Liangyi Sect, they discovered that this young lady was in love with someone... If the clan members found out about this, most of the younger generation would probably be devastated.

Elder Shen nodded slightly and smiled, “That’s true. Throughout history, there have been so many geniuses, but none of them have ever truly reached the Dao Integration Realm. So-called geniuses are just ordinary cultivators who are born every few years in the cultivation world.”

Old Master Shen continued, "However, Miss probably doesn't value Mu Zhian's talent."

He's been through it all, so he naturally understands what these matters of love between men and women really are.

Pursuing a girl doesn't require any special talent or ability; what you need is "emotional intelligence," as well as the ability to be quick-witted and know how to make her happy.

This Mu Zhian must have such abilities.
